Jobs I Do Not Want To Have When I Grow Up
Walking back from the Nezu Museum this week, I was crossing the street behind this official government worker. Yes, his job is to walk around my neighborhood in a flourescent yellow windbreaker, picking up soggy cigarette butts with industrial-sized tongs.

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!

I saw some people outside NHK one day picking up butts with their bare hands. I think it was some kind of punishment. Ewwww.
Aieeeee, punishment indeed! O_O It’s hard to believe they weren’t wearing gloves – seems like people here wear gloves for everything!
Do we need to grow up???
